We understand that Mr. W. Y. Snioak,

decided about two weeks ago that

drew all the cash money he had on
, hand from the bank at Branchville, bade
his family goodbye and left. It is said
that some citizens endeavored to get the
family to prevent his going, but they all,
i including his wife, seemed perfectly willing
for him to go.

HAVELOCK EAVES.
The l>ogr Question. City
council has atl ast taken hold
)f the dog question in earnest. The
town has until recently been overrun
with dogs, many of them being
worthless curs, and several valuable
bird dogs have been bitten by supposedly
mad brutes. As will be seen
bv the notice in another columu, no
Jogs are allowed on any of the
streets or loose on the premises of
their owners. This order will remain
in force until the present fear
of mad dogs has subsided, when, we
understand, council will adopt an
ordinance requiring a tax of two
dollars on every dog and that they
be muzzled while on the streets.
We are glad to commend the action
of our city officials in this matter,
and pledge them our hearty support
in any action thev may take.
Marshal Price has already killed
about thirty dogs.
New Advertisements.

Pay Your Taxep.
It seems to be the current belief
among taxpayers, judging by the delay
which they are making in observing
the privileges of citizenship, that
the time for paying taxes does not
expire on December 31st, or if the
time does expire then, it will be
extended, as was the case last year.
It will not do to depend upon any
I such condition, for the action of the
(legislature last year was intended
! to meet a special imergency.
Treasurer Dickinson informs The
| Bam a erg Herald that the people
: generally are paying their taxes rather
slowly. Only a few more days
j now will elapse before the books are
closed, and taxpayers ought not tc
| delay attending to this important
matter. Do not depend upon an exj
tensiou being granted. That is verj
: uncertain, but it is certain thattaxei
i must be paid.
Strictly Business.
We sincerely regret that we have
felt compelled to part with some of
our subscribers, but The Bamberg
Herald is not run on a charity basis,
and some people did not seem to
appreciate our indulgence or our efforts.
We gave them fair warning,
and sent dun after dun, and as they
seemed to produce no impression, we
erased some names from our list.
There are others whom we are still
carrying, in the hope that they will
come in and get square. Some owe
us several dollars, and the aggregate
foots up something handsome. If
the money due is not forth coming
soon, off they go. If the paper is
worth anything, it is worth paying
lor, ftlHl We UUM l Willi l an J uuuj b>'
feel under obligations to subscribe.
If The Bambeiig Herald is not
worth one dollar a year, why don't
take it, that's all. We want to pay
our debts and make an honest living,
but we cannot do this unless the
people who read our paper pay lis
for it. We hope we have not hurt
anybody's feelings; we don't want to;
all we want is the money that is
honestly due ns.

[ Dispensary Sales.
The dispensary at this place is doing
a large business now. Dispenser
Felder received yesterday about
one thousand dollars worth of liquor,
and has now a $3,000 stock on hand.
The gross sales for November were
$1,626.05; cost price, $1,299 50; gross
profits, $326.55; expenses, $101.93;
leaviug a net profit of $224.6-2 to be
divided l>etween the county and
town.
Annual Settlemeuient.
Mr. E. B. Wilson, book-keeper in
the Comptroller General's office, has
been here sin-e yesterday, making
an annual settlement with county
Auditor Seage and Treasurer Dickinson.
The work will consume a
couple of days or more. Mr. Wilson
and Comptroller Durham have been
at Hampton for several days, and
Mr. Derhara wanted to come here as
well, but pressing business matters
at his office in Columbia would not
allow him to do so. Mr. Wilson is
an affable gentleman and made a favorable
impression upon the officials
here.
Phosphate Returned.
About four weeks ago the State
constables seized some phosphate in
the store of Mr. J. Allen Huggins
and the drug store of Dr. B. D.
Bronsou, claiming that it contained
alcohol. It was shipped by thepppstables
to Columbia, and, we suppose,
there examined by the State
-i
cueiiiiBu
A few days ago Messrs. Huggius ;
and Bronson received notice from i
Mr. W. W. Harris, Clerk of the
State Board of Control, that the
cider or phosphate had been shipped
back, that it had been seized by the
constables through mistake, and
that it contained no alcohol. But
the gentlemen will decline to receive
the stuff, and the parties front whom
it was purchased will no doubt give
the State Board of Control some
trouble about the seizure. J> was
shipped back without the freight
charges being paid.
Christmas Tickets Over Southern ,,
Railway.
Tickets will be sold to all points
December 22, 23, 24 and 25, and

fare for first-class round trip
tickets, and one first-class fare and
second-class return tickets. Tickets
will also be sold to students on December
18th to 21st.

Fire in Florence.
The city of Florence had a most
disastrous fire last Tuesday morning,
and the main business portion
of the town was almost entirely destroyed.
The buildings burned
were the handsomest in the town
and included the city hall, opera
house, city hotel, and a dozen business
houses. The losses aggregate
$150,000 or more, and was the greatest
fire that has ever visited Florence.
The fire originated in the hotel, a
three-story structure, and just as it
was thought the fire was under control,
the water supply gave out and
the fire spread with great rapidity.
Darlington was called on for aid
and her firemen rendered valuable
assistance. Florence will now build
a tine system of waterworks, something
which Editor Ayer has been
working on for some time past.
About two months ago he said in j
his paper that the people of Flor
enoc wore simply tempting Providence
in not building waterworks,
but we imagine the disaster came
unexpeced and un welcomed.
Stockholders Meet.
The annual meeting of stockholders
of the Batnherg Banking Co.
was held yesterday, and the same
board of directors was re-elected,
viz ; F. M. Bamberg, E. K. Hays,
H. J. Brabham, J. D. Copeland and
J. B. Black.
An annual dividend of 10 per
cent, on the capital stock was declared.
Immediately afterwards the direcfrtva
hoh! :t meeting and re-elected
I WW -- ?

Ilays, vice president; W. A. Riley,
i cashier, and D. F. Hooten, assistant
! cashier.
> The institution is in fine condi;
tion, is donig a safe business nnder
wise management, and the large
r amount of money on deposit shows
j the confidence our people have iu
its officers.
